The 1857 keeper’s house and the 1905 oil house are still standing. The original optic lens is a Fourth order Fresnel. "In the mid-nineteenth century, the town of Ellsworth, on the Union River north of Blue Hill Bay, was a thriving lumber port, and a lighthouse was needed to guide mariners into the southern entrance to the bay. Abraham Flye sold Green Island to the federal government for a light station in 1855 for $150, and the light was established on the west side of the island in 1857. The lighthouse also helped guide mariners into the eastern end of Eggemoggin Reach, which connects Penobscot Bay with Blue Hill Bay." - “Blue Hill Bay Light” by Jeremy D'Entremont, New England Lighthouses: A Virtual Guide, 1997-2009, Accessed online 12/27/12; http://lighthouse.cc/bluehillbay/history.html Keepers from the Southwest Harbor / Tremont area were: Howard P.
